And that's what I'm pointing out - various people try, get something
going and then either abandon it and/or move on (or the links become
stale).  Could we get your files (and Jeremy's and ...) all uploaded
and maintained (on each release) to a single website/URL/repository ?

In looking through this I also came across the following,

 http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nx-group/2007-July/thread.html

but the thread seems dead (no posts since July 07) - have there been
any resolutions to this (and many other topics I came across - new
website, new project name, possible collaboration with the 2X team,
etc, etc).  Can all these interesting "future centric" issues be
noted clearly somewhere to not only lessen confusion but to spur
contribution, support and innovation (homepage, a wiki page, etc) ?

Regards.
